ZOT!! Overturned Same-Sex Marriage Ban is a Win for Freedom

Riddle me this troll:

If being gay is a natural sexual orientation, why is there a need for marriage? Marriage should be generally an arrangement centering around procreation. Since a gay relationship can not procreate, why is there such a need for government approved marriage?

If the gay lobby keeps pushing for procreation rights, are they rejecting their natural “gayness” or are they rejecting their natural desire to procreate with their sexual behaviour?

[CSM]

“the government should not have an opinion in matters of morality except when it infringes upon other’s liberty.”

True for the Feds, not true for the States. Yet you celebrate a decision that overrides that principle.

[saundby]

ROFL! You got that dead on.

Amazing what some people choose for leaders, isn’t it?

*sigh*

[Mr. Silverback]

Besides the many other legitimate arguments why gay marriage should not ever be legalized (you and the author of this piece pretending they don’t exist doesn’t mean they don’t exist), there is this one, which should put a stop to this train right now.

Every time the gay rights activists get what they want, basic human rights are taken away from everyone else in that jurisdiction. If it’s all about freedom and love, what happened to these folks?

I know you got the zot, but here’s a tip: If you plan to make a “conservative” argument in favor of this debacle, be ready to explain why the other 300 million Americans have to give up freedom of speech, religion and association as well as jobs, security and property rights so that two guys can have a piece of paper that says “The state supports your anal humpty-hump.”

[Mr. Silverback]

That's a canard, because that statistic is heavily skewed by serial divorces. The fact is that about 80% of first marriages do succeed for life. It's the people that get divorced two or three times that are responsible for the divorce rate being so high.

Not only that, but even if it were true, it's not a reason gay marriage should go forward. If marriage in America has (through divorce and general family breakdown) moved from the brick house to the stick house, moving to the straw house is not a good answer.
